LMAO! Oh the testosterone will be abundant on that day!! Glad someone will give him a little competition!! Hope all is well and your pre-op phase will go smoothly. I do think men , I mean I KNOW men lose weight faster.... :pleasantry:

I got my pedometer yesterday on my break. I put in over 3,000 steps in just a few hours. Can't wait for my whole shift!! And then added walking!! Thanks for the inspiration everyone!! and OMG Mona...You go girl!!!

OMG What an accomplishment....Great inspiration for me. Thanks for the updat

Awesome!!

Good to know. Thanks sunshinegirl.

I love him already. How cute is he. Your Davey is so special. I love his little nose and the spots on each side of it. Thanks for sharing!! Anymore??Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh I just love that face, I want to pet her now!! I love Tabby's. I want to see all the pics now that you have it figured out Mona.

Yippee :lb16: You did it!!!

Hey Diamond Jim....so good to see you posting, I've been thinking about you and your family. All of the guys can now stand up!!

:lb10:

:lb21: :lb10: Hope the money comes through although it sounds like it will. The fills here in PDX are $190 for the first and $170 for the rest. No fluoro though. My friend used this Dr. and was very happy, she got her port 1st stick and had absolutely no probs during or after the fill. She's going back to her soon so I can let you know how she does again.

I LOVE YOU CATHY!!!!!!

Thanks Lisa...I was using the elliptical and really didn't have any probs. I will change to the treadmill untill 3 months so as not to harm anything. I love this forum!!

Yeah I couldn't se them either. Maybe still need some work as Chad suggested. Something to look forward to anyway!!

Perfect timing then. Gotta go get ready for work..... :lb20: Oh well it's my work that paid for all of this so I can't complain too much.

I havn't found "MY" protein supplement yet. Thanks for all the suggestions. I do have some EAS that I must finish but I may try the Isopure as so many people say it's the best, although expensive. And Kimmy... :lb4: once again!!

Yeah nowhere in sight. I have made my own mental pics of each though by your description Mona!!

Darn they still are not showing up. I want to see these kitties!!

I thought Michelle would fix this for sure. I still can't see them, just a question mark in a box.

Kelsey.... :lb9: So brave of you to post but I am so glad you did. I can't imagine how sad you must have been when you didn't qualify for this free placement. Well it sound like you've done your research and now are on track to a new you. Great job. I love you honesty. I have long since been your age (I'm 46) but do remember how painful it was to be overweight at your age. I always was aware of it even though I wasn't too overweight in those years it still hurt me plenty of times. What a great choice to get this done now! What awesome parents you have to be supporting you to do this. Anyway the Oprah shoe when Cassie is on is August 11th!! If you are not home by then from your surgery try and record it. Keep us posted on the days ahead and my advice is to start your pre-op diet a little sooner so you won't stress about losing the weight. Also look in the questions section and type in pre-op and there's good info to be found if you havn't already. I also love the testimonials section. Take care!!

I remember when I was close to eating real food as I am sure we all do. I ended up eating oatmeal for breakfast, was full all day from that and then had FRESH salmon for dinner with broccoli. I could only eat about 4-5 bites of the salmon and 1 little broccoli tree. I'm counting the days for you cutie!!

Yup this is normal. Everyone heals differently as I am sure your girlfriend the :girl_hospital: told you. Good thing you have her to check things out for you!!! Take care Randy!! I'm a nurse too and us nurses must stick together...Telll your girlfriend this and thank her for her being a nurse!!

So glad to hear from you Maddy...You may just be swollen from your pbing episodes. Get some gatorade and/or special K protein water asap. Also call your Doctor to see what they recommend. What great progress you've made so far. =D> :lb24: :lb21: Please keep us posted on you situation, we all care!!

I too have been stuck at around 228-230 for over 2 weeks. AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH! I must remember my own advice at this point. I love being in something and knowing I am not alone though!!

That's such a sad day when you lose that 1st restriction from surgery. It happens to all of us though. I can't wait for my 1st fill on Thursday!! :lb4:
